Only a week ago, the Las Vegas Raiders announced Sandra Douglass Morgan as their new team president. The child of African-American and Korean parents, Sandra is the first Black woman and first Asian woman to serve as the president of a team in the National Football League. A native of Las Vegas, Sandra began her career as a defense attorney, served as an attorney for The Mirage resort and then as the city attorney for North Las Vegas. She later worked in the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the Nevada Gaming Commission, then as chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, where she had responsibility for first closing and then reopening casinos during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sandra joined the law firm of Covington & Burling LLP as counsel in November 2021 before being named president of the Raiders organization.
